Instructions

Heat oven to 425F with the pizza stone in the oven. Continue to heat 10-15 minutes past when the oven reaches temperature to ensure the pizza stone is thoroughly heated.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick pan, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any fat or juice. Add the chili powder and salt, and saute 1 minute to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to desired size and thickness. Remove the pizza stone from the oven. Lay the pizza dough on the stone. Top with toppings in the following order: pizza sauce, bell pepper, onion, ground beef, cheddar, mozzarella, and fried onions. Put the pizza stone back in the oven to cook the pizza, ~15 minutes, until crust is golden and the whole thing is bubbly. Yield: 4 servings.
